How to Create & Publish Listings

Listings are the bridge between your Flxpoint products and the items displayed on your sales channels (e.g., BigCommerce, Shopify). You can create listings, publish or update them, and manage their status—all from the Products section of your dashboard.

 

🔍What is a Listing?

A listing in Flxpoint represents a connection between a product and a channel-specific item.

Action Purpose
Create Listing Build the listing record and prepare it for syncing
Publish Listing Send the product details to the sales channel
Link Listing Match a listing with an existing item on the channel
Sync Listing Update inventory and pricing in real-time from Flxpoint

 

Once created and published, listings can:

  • Sync price and quantity
  • Be linked to external items via UPC or SKU
  • Be updated by overriding with product content from Flxpoint

Example:

Once a listing is created, you can link it to an external sales channel, such as using a UPC. After the listing is linked, Flxpoint can begin syncing pricing and quantity data with that channel.

Optionally, you can choose to overwrite the listing with updated product details from Flxpoint.
